2008 FORD EDGE Complaints

WITHOUT ANY WARNING - NO HIGH TEMP LIGHT OR ANY ENGINE LIGHT - THE WATER PUMP FAILED CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN TO GO SLACK AND ALLOWING COOLANT TO GET INTO THE ENGINE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE. I RAN DIAGNOSIS THE SAME MORNING WITH PERFECT RESULTS BEFORE FAILURE. I WAS TURNING ONTO MY STREET WHEN VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON, NOT ALL OF THE TIME, AND CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE. I TRANSPORT KIDS AND TRAVEL SO IT IS VERY STRESSFUL NOT KNOWING IF MY CAR WILL BE DEAD OR NOY WHEN I GET BACK TO IT.
